Japan vs Senegal preview

Both sides won a little unexpectedly in their first group matches, in what is clearly the most open group. Both sides attracted admirers but Senegal definitely won the most hearts and brought a real feel good factor to the tournament.
The biggest star on display is Liverpool's Sadio Mane but Japanese coach, Akira Nishino feels it is not just Mane they have to be aware of but his influence on his team mates too. Mane makes the players around him play better.
If Japan are going to be successful they are going to have to be cute with the ball and keep it moving quickly.
This match has draw written all over it but I fancy Senegal to ride their wave of confidence and win again.
